OMFG, these are the best......

car meet at litos's place... that bbq is built for volume

[Litos]

dude, back in my SRT4 days i threw 2 MASSIVE BBQ's at my parent's house and literally had over 25 cars show up.

i paid for everything, we ate all kinds of awesome shit and to top it off the ice cream man showed up.

i waved him in through the driveway and he pretty much made a killing at my BBQ.

pics or BS right !!??

stand by.......

[The1]

thats pretty lame that it was all out of your pocket... but sounds like good times!

I'd feel bad as a guest and bring a bunch of stuff.

[Litos]

no, it was MY BBQ, so i footed the bill. didn't bother me. everyone had an awesome time.



these pictures weren't even taken by me. i think they were taken by an old buddy named Wade who now drives an SRT8Jeep

[Litos]

ice cream truck driver was a "darker fella", probably from Kenya or Nigeria or something like that, HAHA !!!!

his toe nails looked like they were moving on their own.....LMFAO !!!!!!

[The1]

mmmmm warm and dry looking weather........... oh how i miss it.

I love the SRT-8 Jeep, but i'm not sure i understand the reasoning behind it I have a jeep grand cherokee with a slight lift and big tires (it's a jeep after all) so to me, a dragster jeep seems weird, but i definitely get a little tingle below the belt when i see one. So sexy.

i was on the fence about trading in the 300 for the Jeep, but at 11-12mpg city and 17-18hwy, it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

my buddy wade launched his jeep from a dig with me in the backseat and the AWD made me feel dizzy. only other AWD i've been in that hooked like crazy like that was my STi - but the thing i love about the SRT Jeep is that first gear goes to ~ 50/51mph !!!!!!

and when it shifts into second, it will run up to ~ 86mph.

imagine the 1/8mi times in that 4600lb beast

p.s.
other buddy named Tim has a cam only jeep running 12.1 @ 115.

115 is not that great, but you can clearly see how hard he's getting outta the hole with a 12.1 !!!

[Litos]

here's my buddy's cam'd SRT8Jeep........

[The1]

crazy vehicle.... I love it.

[UdubBadger]

yeah maybe till you pull up to the pump. Easily an $80 trip

[Litos]

another buddy's GC8

this is a 2010........

that's the trick behind vehicles... you gotta pay to play!

i mean, we could all just pick up a used BMX from creigslist for free and ride it to work every day, but we choose to spend money where it isn't really necessary

to some, 80$ at the pump is worth it.


PS. we already pay that in canada on more fuel efficient vehicles now!

to fill up my BMW here in Ontario with 91 octane (haven't even checked what 94 octane costs at the moment) it would be equivilent of $5.68 per gallon.

i know my last fill-up on my SRT8 was $73

that's why my wife is currently driving the bimmer........

she likes going 420 miles without a fill-up......

i go 275-280 if i drive like a poon. typically go 240-255.

[The1]

haha, my cruising speed has dropped about 5mph with gas prices these days (we drive further over the limit then you guys in the states...) and it's amaizing what that will do to gas mileage.


All i know is, when i go for a cruise, i try to make it last as long as possible, and when i want to play, i try and burn the tank as fast as possible.

i usually go 80mph on the way to work because i wake up early, and then i drive 80mph on the way home because i leave late.

sometimes i get "sprited" and wanna get home faster, but i typically am an "80mph driver".

the bimmer LOVES 80mph, good lord. anyone else get 29-30mpg cruising at 80 in their car !?!?

yeah, seems to be a sweet spot. I think it's because the autobahn is theoretically limited to 130kph (~80mph) so they try to make the efficiency there.

If i'm in a rush to get somewhere and go that speed, i get better gas mileage then when i'm just cruising along.... it annoys me.

so i either go around 60mph or 80mph.

and our speed limit here is approximatly 60mph, which is like the biggest kick in the balls if you own a fast car.... My brother in law loves it because he has a badge in his wallet, so he drives my car harder then i do when i let him take it out

I hate Canadian highways. They beg for speed but with no radar detectors allowed and a pathetic 100kph speed limit, they're the most boring roads in the world. Tell me this road couldn't easily handle 130kph.

[Chewy734]

you afraid a mountie's gonna get you Mark?

[UdubBadger]

my tune gets me over 30mpgs hwy easily. I just don't see the need for an unaerodynamic 5.9L V8 in ANY car with the kind of technology out there. Trust me, I LOVE Jeeps, have owned 4 of them myself and like 10 in my immediate family, but they don't ever do well on gas.

[The1]

haha, i think it should be speed limit sensitive to the time of day...

you got a picture of it at a good time.

For the next time you're in Ontario, don't be afraid to wander to 120kph, they tend to only start going after people going over 120kph, and trust me, there's almost always people going well in excess of that.

I wouldn't recommend 120kph from a GPS standpoint though, then you're taking a risk. set it at about 115 on the GPS and you'll be safe.

Other provinces can get higher speed limits then Southern Ontario. Even when you get to northern Ontario, you can see some 110kph roads (68ish mph)

The one thing i've never figured out, the 401 maintains 100 all the way through toronto, which is a suicidal speed in such a congested city.
